I Love You...
I'm addicted to that incredible feeling you get, when you fly so fast you can feel the air start to separate because of your smooth, silky feathers, the air just flows around it so smoothly, and you can feel the slightest amount of wind escape that hold, and graze your skin. The cold air collides with your warm skin. You speed past the ground below to the point that its nauseating. Then all of a sudden you feel the force of the world start to break, it separates in your path, like your its master, its God. You feel the energy build up, around you and, inside of you, in your heart. You look back to see a rainbow trail left in your wake. Then, you picture a face. The beautiful face of the one you love, but its the face of someone who if anyone ever saw you looking at her the way you do, you would surely be ashamed. You could never let that secret leave you, you would take that right to your grave. You had fallen in love with your best friend, but you know she's in love with someone else, and that's one of the hardest things. So you fly. You fly to take away the pain, to drown the sorrow, the thoughts that you want to bury deep inside you and never let them out, your screaming demons, you try to shove them down to the pits of your soul. No one realizes why you got so good at flying, its because its your way of coping, some draw, some write, some drown it out in alcohol. You've been flying your whole life. The shadow on the ground being your only friend, but becomes blurry if you get too close. Sometimes you get so lonely. Being up hundreds of feet, and seeing everyone so small underneath you. Tiny specks. On good days you feel powerful like you could do anything. Other times you feel like this, sad, depressed whatever you want to call it and more. Your purely alone, with only your thoughts, and those demons. Your eyes start to tear up, but you do not cry, most likely because you're flying so fast that your eyes dry up before they can escape. When you fly, you try to challenge yourself, go a fast as you can, one time you even broke the sound barrier, after that day, you were considered the fastest flying creature known ever to roam equestria, but being the fastest flyer was never your dream, you know your dream, it's to be with the one you love, the one you've been in love with ever since you first laid eyes on her. She's beautiful and strong, courageous and brave, and just pretty damn amazing. You fly, alone with your thoughts when all of a sudden, everything goes black, you wake up a few moments later to see the face you've been picturing in your head is there, wait how did she get here? Why are you lying on the ground, why, why can't you feel your body… you realized what happened, you weren't paying attention, and as you were about to break the recorded speed known to any creature, you hit something, although you're not sure what, but it was like rock, and you must have been knocked out, and as the face of your true love comes closer, those beautiful big green eyes that look like they were stolen from a dragons lair, those cute little freckles on her dark tanned skin, from working endless days on your family farm, that hat she would always hide her face with when she blushed -which you thought was the cutest thing ever-, and that beautiful golden blonde mane that's flowing through the wind as she gracefully gallops with her powerful legs. Your vision starts to go blurry, you can't hear what she's desperately trying to yell to you. All you know is you feel no pain, and you want to say one last thing, but you cant.
Now I realize, it is to late for me, I should have said what I wanted to say sooner before any of this happened. I regret it all. I want to say I'm sorry for not doing all of the things I wanted to do. We could've had a great life, but my fear and insecurities prevented that from happening, I've always wished I was as strong as you, as brave. I thought flying was my love, and that was the love that got me in the end, but I realize now that my choices in life are what got me, and flying wasn't really my passion, you were.
Now I guess I really wasn't lying, I did take this secret to the grave.
“I love you…”
It was just like any other day on the farm, I was buckin’ apples into their buckets and then Apple Bloom took ‘em away to where Big Mac would wagon ‘em to the market to get ‘em ready for sellin’ later. So I was just about to head in and wash up, and as I was walking through the main field outside the house, I saw rainbow flyin’. She was flyin’ faster than normal which I thought was pretty weird, I mean, we had a dinner tonight at twilights but that wasn't for ‘bout an hour and it's not like it was a formal dinner or anything so I ignored it thinkin’ that it was just her practicin’ some new tricks or somthin’. So I went in and washed up since I was pretty sweaty and muddy from the pigs, when I saw mac out the window. He was runnin' real fast so I got a little worried and ran out to meet him.
“Mac, what in tarnation is all this about?”
“Apple- ja- ck- I- ju-” Big mac tried to spit out some words but could barely take a breath from all that running
“Now slow your horses I can barely understand ya” I had said, with a very worried expression on my face.
“AJ I just saw rainbow hit the silo!” I looked at him, shocked out of my mind,
“You did?” I said with a tremble in my voice, because I knew if rainbow was going at that alarming speed when she hit it, this would not be good.
“Ok mac u go and get the hospital ponies, I'm gunna run there as fast as I can and see what's goin’ on” then I started to gallop off when I heard a big
“Yup” from behind me. I was goin’ so fast I didn't even see the little rock until I tripped over it. I ran and ran until finally, i reached her, she was to understate it, a huge mess, bones jutting from her body, half of her skin ripped off. As I was getting closer I saw her start to go, but it looked like she was trying to say something to me, I yelled to her,
“JUST HOLD ON IM ALMOST THERE” but I could see her start to fade, that spark in her eyes that I always saw when she looked at me, died. Like right when the sun sets and you can't see it anymore, but the dull after colors are still there. Her rainbow mane that she was known for, tangled in blood, and when I reached her, I saw I trickle of blood come out of her mouth. At this point I knew it was too late, I knew she couldn't be saved. So I held her, I wrapped her mangled body in my arms, and as I could feel her last breath leave her body, I started to cry, somethin' that no one has ever seen me do, something that I havent done ever since my parents died in that awful accident. I started to cry so much my body was trembling, I was begging to Celestia to bring her back, please please bring her back, she was my favorite pony in all of Equestria, and as I felt the warmth leave her best friends body, I myself saw my life flash before my eyes, not because I was dying, but because I saw all of the great memories we shared together. And as I looked down at my beloved friend, I knew that I loved this pony, as more than a friend, and when I saw all the memories I saw that she did too, and she realized what rainbow was trying to say, and what I would have said if she were still alive,
"I love you”
